Blacker than night [Em] were the eyes of Felina [A] Wicked and evil while [D] casting a spell .
My love was deep for [Em] this Mexican maid [A] I was in love [D] but in vain I could tell.
One [G] night a wild little cowboy came in Wild as the West [Dm] Texas wind.

My challenge was answered [G] in less than a heartbeat [A] A handsome young stranger lay [D] dead on the floor .
Just for a moment [Em] I stood there in [A] silence Shocked by [B] the foul evil [A] deed I [D] had done.
Many thoughts raced [Em] through my mind as I stood [A] there I had [D] but one chance and that was to run.
Out [G] through the back door of Rose's I ran Out where the horses [Dm] were [D] tied .
I caught a good one it looked like it could run Up on its back in a way [G] I did [Em].

It's been so long [Em] since I've seen the young maid [A] My love [D] is stronger than my fear of death .
[G] I saddle up and away I did go Riding alone in [D] the dark.
Maybe .
tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain [G] in my heart.

I see the white puff [Em] of smoke from the rifle [A] I feel the bullet go deep in [F#m] my [D] chest.
From out of [Em] nowhere Felina has found [A] me Kissing my cheek and she [D] kneels by my side .
Bradled by two [Em] loving arms that I'll die [A] for One little [G] kiss and [F#m] Felina [G#m] goodbye .
